You may have been lucky, but the testing repository is really not meant for daily use.
Noone cares about packages there, so depending on what you have installed and when you update, you might have critical security vulnerabilities that have been patched for weeks on Stable or other incompatibilities/broken dependencies.
Unstable is not meant for daily use either, but at least you brainlessly get pushed the latest updates at all times. I have used it for a while, but it broke on me, too.
If you need newer software, just use Stable with backports or Flatpaks.
Basically, you have to flash your own config by adding your password hash and replacing the one in the ROM with e.g. cbfstool. It may sound scarier than it is.
Besides having less features than many proprietary BIOSes, I prefer the flexibility of having your own config to play around with. You can also create custom entries to boot fully encrypted RAIDs and such stuff.
(I sighed because many answers were about BIOS passwords not being effective anyway, which, to me, is dog shit, because of course you do not want somebody random to be able to just boot a USB from your device and screw up your system. And no, it does not reset itself when you take out the CMOS battery.)
Das sieht echt super aus, leider ein bisschen weit weg von uns, aber vielleicht fahren wir doch nochmal etwas weiter. Danke für den Tipp auf jeden Fall!
Stay with that one as long as you can, the newer ones have no notification LEDs, audio jacks and shitty OLED displays that lose brightness and just break down eventually.
Yeah, don’t do that.
